Lesotho and Zambia clash for the second time in four days in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at the Dobsonville stadium in Lesotho.
Zambia defeated Lesotho 3-1 on Thursday at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium to take second place in Group H with 6 points.
Likuena remains at the bottom of the standings with just one point. Their chances of qualifying for the first time were dealt another blow in Ndola.
They will approach the game with more caution than they did in the previous match with hopes of keeping their dwindling qualification hopes alive.
Coach Veselin Jelusic will be banking on Tshwarelo Bereng and Jane Thabantso to inspire the team to victory.
Strike Sera Motebang who missed Thursday’s match is also expected to make a return to the Likuena squad.
Meanwhile, Avram Grant is expected to start with the same team, with the exception of captain Lubambo Musonda, who is expected to be replaced by the two-goal hero, Lameck Banda.
Grant will be spoiled for choice, as the Chipolopolo boys demonstrated their attacking prowess in attack on Thursday, with other players besides Patson Daka rising to the occasion to score goals.

Zambia and Lesotho have now played 12 games in all competitions. The Chipolopolo won 8 while Likuema managed only 2 wins and 2 draws.
A win for Zambia today will put them one foot in the 2023 AFCON. They will need only a point to qualify if group leaders Ivory Coast also beat Comoros.
BETTING TIP: Zambia to win with 0-3 goals in the match.
